Four coffee maker: one wonderful drip drip

Four Coffeemaker does one of two things: he will make one delicious coffee. Or you will make delicious coffee cups.

Technically, you can also make one and a half cups of delicious coffee, or half of the mug. But this is where it stops. This is the end of what the device will achieve.

What a rare and wonderful achievement.

This is the thing. Your classic coffee maker is a very simple and useful device, but it avoids the singular. It looks side by the side, even in a couple. The 12 cup coffee maker makes large batches instead for offices, food and social in the church.

It is not a big problem in itself. But it is big problem. If you, like many of us, live in one or two adults, so that eight cup channels can be a real responsibility unless you take your coffee in the form of IV or leave it on a stove throughout the day to get oxidation and strange. I think about this every time I pour the sad remains of the rules of the half. Small wonder resort to coffee, even while sacrificing flavor.

This is the position that was designed to solve. Four was released in November, the third and smallest coffee maker designed by Portland, Oregon, the ratio of the company.

The device is easily proportional to the wardrobe, and its shape is elegant in the modern homeland style, which includes a lot of BPA -free polymer. Qarifa, made of port all, is wonderful in familiar ways. But otherwise the specifications can look like restrictions. Its largest batch measures only four cups, large enough for two steam cups. There is only one button, and there is no heating element under the bottle. In addition, the device costs a northern $ 200.

Even after weeks of test, I am convinced. There is no device that I know makes this single drain coffee delicious and simple.

Coffee that comes from the ratio can be amazingly good. On light and medium roasted in particular, my cups were full of contentment while still gently whispering with berries or candy. I fermented the beans I know well, just to discover new flavors.

All single women put your cups

But what makes the distinguished four is the ease of restriction in which this wonderful single mug – for one, or for two people.

When you tried smaller batches on the drip machines made for larger drinks, they usually do not work. It requires timing, and taste results like settlement. The coffee that contracts, or I must make a very strong cup. This was true even on luxurious payments, including the previous eight ratios. Most large machines are simply not designed to make one great cup. One pod coffee It does not tend to taste a wonderfulalso.
